October 16, 2006 -- The House Page Board, which oversees the page program, has some interesting members. The first is the House Sergeant at Arms, Wilson Livingood. He got his start as a Special Agent for the Secret Service's Dallas Field Office, where he was posted from 1961 to 1969. Of course, the Secret Service, including the Dallas Field Office, miserably failed in the protection of President John F. Kennedy from assassination on November 22, 1963. Nevertheless, Livingood was promoted and transferred to the Presidential Protective Division of the Secret Service in Washington from 1969 to 1982, and was in Washington when President Ronald Reagan was hit by a bullet from John Hinckley, a friend of the Bush family. From 1982 to 1986, Livingood was Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service Field Office in Houston, the home of then-Vice President George H. W. Bush, during a time when the elder Bush was purportedly involved in sexual encounters with underage males in the Franklin, Nebraska/Boys' Town child prostitution ring uncovered by Nebraska Republican State Senator John DeCamp.

It’s funny how big failures seem to get you promoted when you associate with the Bush family. Makes you wonder if the “failures” are really failures.
